![]() They are their own mother and father, and at the end of the movie John kills his future self after discovering that he is the Fizzle Bomber - which in turn sets him on the path to becoming the Fizzle Bomber. The twist: John, Jane, Jane's baby, the Barkeep, and the Fizzle Bomber are all the same person. After hearing this story, the Barkeep offers to take John back in time so that he can kill the man who fathered his baby and ruined his life. She was forced to reinvent herself as John, whose miserable life led him to be drinking in that very bar. As if that wasn't devastating enough, Jane's baby was stolen two weeks after the birth. During the difficult birth, doctors discovered that Jane had both male and female sex organs, and gave her a hysterectomy while also reconstructing her male organs. While in college, Jane met a mysterious man who got her pregnant and then rudely disappeared. John reveals that he was actually born a girl, dumped as a baby at an orphanage and named Jane. Things only get better after the twist, however, as Nick starts to play Amy's game in an effort to win her back and save his own life, proving that these two might be meant for each other after all. The whole plot is an act of revenge against Nick for cheating on her after all the sacrifices she made for him. The picture she has been painting of her and Nick's marriage in her diaries is carefully calculated to convince the police of his guilt, so that he will be sent to prison and executed for her murder. The twist: Not only is Amy not dead, she orchestrated her own disappearance. It's not until the mid-movie twist that we realize what's really going on might be even more diabolical than murder. Affleck pitches his performance as the awkward and frequently unlikable protagonist perfectly, never quite persuading the audience of his innocence despite his repeated protestations that he has no idea what happened to Amy - who maintains a voice in the story via snippets from Amy's diary. The movie begins on Nick and Amy's fifth wedding anniversary, when Nick returns home to find his wife missing and seems suspiciously calm about it. ![]() Directed by David Fincher and based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl stars Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, a former magazine writer who dragged his New York born-and-bred wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), back to his home town in Missouri after his career went south.
